lyrics

As I lie beside you trying not to make a noise
my crackerjack heart's all wound up like a toy.
It's these torrid thoughts, they keep stirring up my loins.
Like a dirty little boy, I gotta see a priest.
I gotta go to confession. I'm gonna call the police -
I'm gonna do a bad thing.
Don't tell my mama, don't tell my papa,
baby, I've been dreamin' bad, bad dreams.

I wanna pledge my "allegiancy",
but I'm a ferocious human beast
with carnal instincts.
Still, I'm a standup guy to every
gal I meet - all those pretty girls in heat -
I gotta see a priest. I gotta go to confession.
I'm gonna call the police - I'm gonna do a bad thing.
Don't tell my mama, don't tell my papa,
baby, I've been dreamin' bad, bad dreams.

This sick, old man once shared his philosophy:
guys imagine having sex with
every girl they see. Ever since,
I've tried to debunk this myth;
it's the curse of Dionysus.
These dreams I have, no girl is left unturned.
Your best friend, your sister,
your 8th grade picture -
It's enough to want to lop the thing right off...

So help me god, I gotta see a priest.
